I haven't been in the forums in a while due to college classes, but I spent the last 5 hours on this 400 line shell script for use in case of some emergency situation ( the "AHH! I can't log in" type situation ) This script is like taking a chainsaw to a toothpick breaking competition or setting your house on fire to heat a cup of tea - effective, but overkill and possibly dangerous. I'm just in the final tweaking stages now and could use some input. Here is the script, it works on all architectures and flavors of ubuntu and id ten times longer than I originally expected it to be.

The only extra things I want to include is lovinglinux's flash-aid shell script ( with his permission ) and that fancy boot up script by someone who's name eludes me at the moment. So, what do you think?
